As I said elsewhere, I completely understand. Thanks for playing with us for the three-parter and I hope this will help you regain some balance!
______________
For everyone else, I did want to post that we'll continue on as we are since we still have six players - I won't be recruiting a 7th. Our APL is 3.5 so we'll still be playing up with the 4-person adjustment and Yorad has the same amount of exp that Dalen did so the one or two of you slow-tracking these next couple of scenarios will still need to do so keep us all within workable parameters.
Just a note, but thanks for bearing with me if we seem a little slow to get up to steam - I've admittedly been focusing pretty hard on my Gameday VII games in an effort to get them wrapped up before the November 19th deadline. But once those are all finished I'll likely take it 'easy' during the holiday season and not add any other GM games so I can focus more on this and the TL;DR group for a bit :)
Btw Dalen, I'm unable to mark you inactive due to the forum bug currently affecting the ability to edit campaigns. Until they can get it fixed, feel to just ignore things here or manually hide the campaign to clear it from your Campaigns page if you like.
Thanks for the notice, Jan!
Hey guys, I'm leaving on a trip later today and won't be back until Wednesday afternoon. While I'll have my phone with me and might be able to squeeze in an update Tuesday, don't expect much until I get home.
So...speaking of a painful and itchy fate, this is just how dangerous the poison oak actually is/was at high tier:
Poison (Ex)—contact; save Fortitude DC 16; onset 1 hour; frequency 1/hour; effect 2d4 Dexterity damage and 1d4 Str damage, creature is sickened until all ability damage from the poison oak is healed; cure 1 save.
Since there's a four-player adjustment in effect the save DCs would've been a little lower but still...

Okay, looks like they fixed the 'can't edit campaigns' bug so I've marked some folks/aliases inactive and updated the maps link at the top of the campaign page~
Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Or Happy Thursday, if you prefer. Or both, that's cool too :)
I'll get an update shortly but given that it's a holiday for several of us please don't feel pressured to post today!

Hey folks, you've not been abandoned or anything! Given that I know several of you were/still are out of town over the holiday weekend I've actually largely been chilling from PbP myself and thus haven't been inclined to push things too much. I imagine we should start really getting back into the swing of things tomorrow/Tuesday, though.
In other news, I finally managed to wrap up all of my Gameday games except one - which is on the last fight right now - so I should start having more time for this group and the TL;DR gang. No current plans to run any other games until my Legacy of the Stonelords table for RetroCon in January. That said, I owe Massee (Frankie) a scenario (or module) of his choice at some point - and when that happens you're all definitely invited if it's something you can play and/or want to burn a replay on - and I'd definitely like to do more leshy adventures sometime next year....and then there's OutPost right after RetroCon and I'll probably run a table of something for that. Games for days months!
(Massee happened to win the little lotto I did to see who was next up for a special request game but I hope to be able to get around to all of you, in time.)
Something else that I'll share since it'll affect my general posting habits is that I requested to move to night shift full time and that 'officially' takes effect starting next week. Things will be a little different though in that night shift is going back to 3 12 hour shifts a week instead of 4 10s, which I'm really excited about because it means one less day of driving to-and-from work (which is about an hour & 1/2 of driving round trip) and an extra day off each week which means more time to get stuff done! My posting on my work 'days' might be a little more sparse unless things happen to be quiet but I'm hoping I can largely make up for it on my off 'days'. Guess we'll see how it goes!

3X12'S Sounds like a nice schedule. So many extra fishing days!
Did you have a rough time when you wanted to do that extra game? After Retro-Con? During? Luurg would be available (level 6 or 7) Or my core fighter (3 or 4). Thinking how many of you don't have core probably Luurg would be the easier to field a team. I think most of my favorite characters are involved in a regular games now other than those two.
And for a scenario, Luurg is always loving to do anything with an outdoor flavor, especially if there is water involved. Poor fella is built around some water stuff but I've never had the chance to put it to use.
^Hmm...how about once RetroCon is done? That'll put us playing while OutPost is going on but I'd rather be juggling a few regular tables instead of a few regular tables + a timed special :)

Pat,
I'm about to start #7–15: The Deepmarket Deception (Subtier 6-7) for Lady Ladile and a few others. There's room for you, if you want to burn a GM star to replay it.
I'll be starting something low-tier as well. You have a couple of requests that this group of players and GMs could consider?
Larry
^Signs in Senghor was a lot of fun!
As far as recommended GMs go, I've enjoyed playing under all of the following, in no particular order of preference:
GM Red (Brayden)
GM Lorenzo (Larry)
GM chadius (Meredith)
GM Eric (Yorad)
GM Hmm
GM kuey
GM Chie
GM Blake (Blake's Tiger)
GM Uktar
GM Wolfspirit
GMG (Magabeus)
EM+GM
Of course please keep in mind that just because I didn't list a particular GM doesn't mean that I don't endorse them - it just means that I've probably not played a game with them as GM yet! I've got a tiny handful of folks that I personally would not apply to but that's largely due to my own personal tastes; won't list names here but PM me if you're curious.
Hey-o folks, just checking in. I hope everyone's December/holiday preparations (if you celebrate anything) are going well. Just recently came off a stretch of working 6 nights out of the last 7 so I apologize for the slowness of my posting. Tonight is/has been sort of a rest up and do-stuff-if-I-feel-like-it night but the next two days/nights should see me being a bit more active here on the forums (though I do have some chores and stuff I want to get done around the place while I'm off).
Lol @Jan!
And sorry guys, I've not forgotten you! Update to (finally) follow this morning, I hope :)
Hey guys, one of my fellow players from my local lodge expressed an interest in giving PbP a try and since I can't resist the siren song of introducing MOAR PEOPLE to this fun gaming format, I'm going to run a game for him.
(Though I did stipulate that I'd run something that I've already ran previously to save on prep time.)
So I'm going to be running Night March of Kalkamedes. I know from looking at the PFS Tracker that all of you (and I'd assume Jan too) have played it already but I still wanted to offer spots if anyone was really wanting to spend a replay on it for whatever reason. Right now it looks like we've got 3-4 spots open, so let me know if you're interested. If not, I'll go hit up the guys on the TL;DR table next :3
I'm also still noodling over a good scenario to run for Luurg (Massee/Frankie). Since Luurg likes long walks on the beach I'm trying to find a good outdoorsy and/or watery scenario to run for him ;)
I'd originally not planned to start that one until after RetroCon was completed but I may need to revisit that timeline a little bit; we might start that one once Night March is finished or once RetroCon is done - whichever happens first.
Still trying to keep my GMing load to a dull roar but matters have complicated slightly as I'm going to be taking over a not-PFS Shattered Star game that I've been playing in as a player for the last 4 years, due to our GM vanishing back in October. It was that or let the game (more than likely) die as it's difficult to get a replacement GM for an AP game...and I'm nothing if not stubborn when I want to be. So I'll give it my best shot and see how it goes :)
^Okay guys, after looking around a little and soliciting some suggestions I've come up with the following options (that don't involve someone spending a replay):
From Shore to Sea - This is a module with a chronicle sheet for the 5-7 range. It's not a multi-parter like Gallows of Madness or Daughters of Fury and it's not a mega-module like The Dragon's Demand.
#9-24 Beneath Unbroken Waves - This one is a 5-9; reviews seem mixed on the basis of some of the combat sections.
#1-38 No Plunder, No Pay - This is a 7-11 so I know Luurg would need to nab one more scenario to reach 7th before I could run this. Great reviews for an older scenario.
It's ultimately Massee/Frankie's pick but feel free to talk it over and figure out what you guys would prefer to play :)
^Of course! Any of you guys that are able to play will be welcome :)
______________
Regarding the good Skorlov family, while they don't have any antiplague that they can give you (or craft for you) good old Kenner is a druid of sufficient level to prepare a couple of Remove Diseases if things get ugly. And Adula & Klara are rangers that can help with Heal checks if need be!
I know that each GM runs things differently but to me, it seems more realistic that most good or neutral-aligned NPCs would be willing to help out a group of PCs to the best of their abilities (within reason, they won't fight your battles for you) - providing that said PCs haven't made asses of themselves and ask nicely. Of course if there are reasons given in the scenario as to why someone that isn't hostile still wouldn't give aid to Pathfinders then that's a different matter, but in my limited experience GMing PFS I haven't seen that sort of thing come up very often.
Of course! Now we just need for Frankie to pick one...or shall I pick instead? :V
Okay, so...module time then!
*rubs hands together*
Excellent :3
Assuming that Meredith will want to play Sheela (since she and Luurg seem to be something of a team like Meredith/Denair + Frankie are) we'll need to wait until Sheela's done with her current scenario...so folks have a little time before I'll be looking to get started.
That said, From Shore to Sea: Tier 5-7 so everyone be thinking about the characters you'd like to bring and I might go ahead and set up a campaign thread for it soonish so the planning and discussion can shift from here to there :)
Hey folks, I know chatter here has been all over the place regarding games and such lately but I wanted to note that we're approaching the end of this scenario and so I'll need to start thinking about our next one. Because I'm terrible at remembering these details, please let me know if any of you will be leveling up at the conclusion of the current scenario whether from just this scenario, GM credits, or both.
I think that we'll still be looking to run at least one more 1-5 before everyone will be in range for 3-7s which leaves us:
or
Either option would be fine with me, just need to figure out which it'll be so I can start doing some prep :)
